Pediatric Neuropsychological Assessment in Northfield, MN
Northfield families get an evaluation with the depth and documentation this community expects.
A College Town With High Expectations
Northfield is a town where careful thinking is the local industry. Between Carleton, St. Olaf, and Northfield Public Schools (ISD 659), parents here tend to arrive with good questions and expect a report that answers them properly.
That suits how we work. Evaluations are thorough, the reasoning is shown, and the written report explains not just what the scores are but what they mean for this particular student.
The drive east on I-35 and US-14 runs about sixty-five minutes, and much of the surrounding work can be handled remotely.

Depth That Holds Up to Scrutiny
Raider families often come with a bright student whose output does not match their thinking. Twice-exceptional profiles, slow processing speed alongside strong reasoning, and anxiety that masks as avoidance are all common here. The evaluation lays out the full profile and gives ISD 659 staff accommodation language grounded in data rather than impression.
- Comprehensive ADHD, learning, and autism evaluations
- Board-certified clinical review on every case
- Clear, actionable written reports that schools and pediatricians can use immediately
- IEP- and 504-ready documentation accepted across SE Minnesota districts
